The Czech Republic and Denmark aren’t two of the biggest names at the UEFA European Under-21 Championships, but they both brought very experienced squads to the tournament, and for that reason, they should be able to contend with the top sides. First, they face each other, and both feel like they need a win to have a shot to top a group that includes Germany.

Because players only have to be under 21 at the start of qualifying to compete in this tournament, not at the start of the tournament itself, both squads have a number of players who are 23 years old. Those players will be expected to be the stars of this tournament, which qualifies teams for the Olympics.
For Czech Republic, keep an eye on their two center forwards, who have both been capped for the senior team. Vaclav Kadlec and Matej Vydra both had solid club seasons and are among the most experienced strikers at this tournament. The man to watch for Denmark is Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who is expected to play a role at Bayern Munich this season after a great loan spell at Augsburg.
